Founders often want to create ventures that generate meaningful impact and outsized financial returns. So how do you do it?

Join us for a fireside chat featuring Irene Liu (WG21), founder of Chiyo, a company focused on improving women’s health through nutrition, and Mira Kaufman of Ingeborg Investors, an investment firm focused on women-led, early-stage startups and one of Chiyo’s early investors.

Moderated by Professor Tyler Wry, faculty advisor for Social Entrepreneurship, the conversation will explore what it takes to center social impact within a healthy business model.

A networking reception with refreshments will follow.
